Chapter 383: 382 Forgive

The next afternoon, Wen Ran received a call from Shen Yuting.

After celebrating her birthday last night, Mo Xiuchen took an early flight out of G City this morning. At the earliest, he would not be back for a week.

This time, she had offered to accompany him on his business trip, but he had refused.

His reason was simple: he would be busy visiting various branches, with numerous social engagements, and flying around constantly. He didn’t want Ranran flying around with him.

Shen Yuting’s voice was heavy with guilt, as if she felt remorse for her actions last night.

Wen Ran glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao lying in the hospital bed and said calmly, “I’m at the hospital right now. You can come over.”

“Ranran, why are you still seeing Shen Yuting?”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Ran in dissatisfaction. Last night, Shen Yuting had tried so hard to seduce Mo Xiuchen. If Mo Xiuchen had been another man, she might have succeeded in seducing him.

Wen Ran laughed nonchalantly. Thinking of what Mo Xiuchen had said last night, a warm light filled her eyes, and her voice softened: “No matter what she does, Xiuchen won’t be moved. What do I have to worry about?”

The one who should feel heartbroken was Shen Yuting.

She had confessed her feelings and tried to throw herself at him, even tried to undress herself, yet Mo Xiuchen had shown no interest in her.

“You, forget it, I won’t comment. Even though Shen Yuting is your cousin, she only has eyes for your husband. Make sure you guard against your cousin as you would against fire and thieves. Don’t let your guard down.”

“Pfft!”

Wen Ran burst out laughing: “People say ‘guard against fire, guard against thieves, and guard against girlfriends’!”

“Go away, I’m not interested in your Mo Xiuchen!”

Bai Xiaoxiao glared at her fiercely. This girl was absolutely unbearable when she spoke.

“Haha, that’s not what I meant. I’m just saying, you changed the phrase. Guarding against one’s cousin, this is the first time I heard of that. But I’ll listen to you, I’ll keep an eye on her from now on, keep her a meter away from Xiuchen, and not allow them to meet alone.”

“To be honest, last night, when I saw them together… I really thought…”

Bai Xiaoxiao spoke pensively, recalling the scene they had witnessed last night. It still troubled her.

“Not just you. I, too, thought they… But, later, I felt I had wronged Xiuchen. How could I not have faith in him?”

Wen Ran had a guilty look on her face.

“Well, you can’t be blamed for it. Anyone who saw that scene would have had the same thought. However, your Mo Xiuchen is a once-in-a-thousand-years good man. Ranran, you must hold onto him tightly. He might not show interest in other women, but women can be very cunning. If one day he falls for it, it might be too late for you to regret.”

“Yes, I know. I will be more careful.”

Wen Ran softly agreed. She increasingly disliked other women coveting her man. Last night after Shen Yuting had embraced Mo Xiuchen, she constantly felt like his body was carrying her perfume scent.

Mo Xiuchen noticed her awkwardness and immediately took a shower when he got home. He spent twice as much time as usual in the bathroom and wasted twice as much water before coming out.

Today, Shen Yuting looked rather haggard, with a pale face, and her eyes were still a bit swollen.

When she saw Wen Ran, she seemed a bit uneasy. As soon as she arrived, she apologized, “Ranran, I’m sorry about last night. I drank too much and said and did some things I shouldn’t have.”

Shen Yuting’s face was full of sincere remorse. Last night, Gu Kai had heavily scolded her after taking her upstairs.

After thinking about it herself, she also felt ashamed.

“Sister Ting, Xiuchen explained to me about last night. He said you were drunk and spouted nonsense. In the future, you should drink less. Drinking too much is harmful to your health.”

Wen Ran spoke calmly, showing no sign of anger. Shen Yuting was somewhat surprised, and also somewhat embarrassed, “He…Xiuchen…”

“Xiuchen was a bit angry, but he’ll be fine in a couple of days.”

Wen Ran gave a small smile, seemingly comforting Shen Yuting.

“You should be grateful that Ranran isn’t angry. If she had truly gotten mad at Xiuchen because of you, then your actions last night would be utterly sinful. In Xiuchen’s heart and eyes, there is no room for any woman but Ranran. Miss Shen, you’re smart. Why would you harm yourself and make things difficult for Ranran?”

Bai Xiaoxiao spoke unhurriedly, but her words left Shen Yuting with no place to hide.

Yes, she had done something so shameless last night, and now she was making things difficult for Ranran and asking her not to blame her.

No matter how much she had loved Mo Xiuchen in the past, he was now a married man. She should let go, even if it caused her great pain, he could not pester him again.

“Ranran, I’m sorry. I promise you, something like that will never happen again.”

Shen Yuting’s already pale face turned even paler at Bai Xiaoxiao’s words.

In her twenty-plus years of life, last night had been the most humiliating.

“Hmm.”

Looking at Shen Yuting’s apologetic face, Wen Ran couldn’t bear to be too harsh. She only loved Mo Xiuchen and was suffering from unrequited love. Wen Ran didn’t understand, but she could empathize.

If she could really learn to let go, there was nothing that couldn’t be forgiven.

Upon hearing Wen Ran, Shen Yuting smiled gratefully, “Ranran, thank you.”

If Wen Ran did not forgive her, she did not know what she would do. After explaining for a while longer, she bid Wen Ran goodbye and left the sickroom.

From entering to leaving, it only took a few minutes.

Shen Yuting hadn’t been gone for half an hour before Gu Kai arrived at the hospital.

“Ranran, did Yuting visit you earlier?”

As soon as Gu Kai entered, he asked, worry in his eyes as he looked at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered, then she smiled gently, “Yes, she said that she did some things she shouldn’t have done last night because she was drunk. She asked me to forgive her and promised that such things wouldn’t happen again.”

Gu Kai knitted his brows, seemingly in conflict, but finally, he sighed, “It’s good that you can forgive her. She has been stubborn about Xiuchen for many years. After last night, she should be able to think clearly. If she can’t let go, I won’t let her go, even without you getting involved.”

Listening to Gu Kai’s words, Wen Ran felt a warmth in her heart. She gave a slight smile, “Brother, Sister Ting also has a hard time. Don’t be angry at her anymore.”

She knew very well that Gu Kai had always cherished Shen Yuting as a sister. Especially during the years when she was not around, Shen Yuting often lived with the Gu family, bringing comfort to both Gu Kai and Gu Yan.

For this reason, and out of respect for her father and brother, she was willing to forgive Shen Yuting once!

If Shen Yuting ever tried anything like this in the future, she would certainly not forgive her as easily as she did today. Just like she had said to Cheng Jia, as long as she, Wen Ran, is around, she won’t allow any woman to steal her husband away from her!
